The girls made my birthday a very special day and I love the beautiful flower bouquet and kind poster from the class. Many thanks!
Here are some curriculum updates and reminders.
Math: We have jumped into our first unit which reviews reading and writing large numbers, estimating, and working with factors and multiples. Additionally, we will review key geometry terms and introduce several new concepts. The girls did well completing their first facts contract and Pick 8. This will be the math homework each week so we are establishing the routine now. Next week, the facts contract focus will be on subtraction facts. Today, we used a site called That Quiz and took a quick addition facts quiz. This will be a normal Friday activity.
Language Arts: We reviewed the literary elements found in any fiction book as we discussed their summer reading book, Because of Winn Dixie. They have started creating a digital presentation on the story elements using a site called Buncee. We will continue this next week and hopefully get them finished. When we do any sort of digital work, I will post the final products on the blog page called 'Clever Classwork.' We took our first Wordly Wise test on Thursday and our first spelling test today. I will always note the test dates on the homework sheet attached to the blog. Lastly, the girls and I are enjoying our class read aloud of The Hundred Dresses.
